  • Mac Book Pro on boot up, the apple sign will appear with the spinning wheel.  After some time, a grey screen wil appear with a movable mouse, but will not boot up.  Help!

    Mac Book Pro on boot up, the apple sign will appear with the spinning wheel.  After a period of time the screen will turn grey, but the mouse will still operate, but not boot up.

    If it was purchased brand new then it's running a version of Lion, so to reinstall Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.

  • Hey, My macbook is giving me a flashing question mark on startup. When I hold down the command key to get to system preferences it asks me for a firmware password, that I did not set! Any ideas on how to bipass this?

    Hey, My mac book is giving me a flashing question mark on start up. When I hold down the command key to get to system preferences in order to help it find the system software it asks me for a firmware password, that I did not set! I also do not have the start up DVD/disk anymore. Any ideas on how to bypass this?

    Contact Apple or an authorized Apple service provider.

  • Faulty keyboard - as though the command key is permanently pressed

    My Macbook has suddenly started behaving as though the Command key is permanently pressed down. Both of the keys actually feel normal when pressed - neither of them is stuck.
    Any ideas of how to fix this problem (I've tried a shut down)?
    If I cannot fix it, is a replacement keyboard something I could fit myself - will an Apple Retail Store be able to supply a replacement keyboard? (it's the first version of the white MacBook, out of warranty).

    OK problem solved. It was a wireless keyboard that had been left switched on and had junk piled onto it so the Apple key was pressed down.
    Panic over!

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

    What is the default key command for THE COMMAND (apple) key? I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key (only) it hides all open windows and shows the desk top and when I push it again it shows all windows again...I need to return to default A.S.A.P. just this one key...Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

    Go to
     > System Preferences > Keyboard
    Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
    As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

  • When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag?

    When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag? Additionally, the software I record experiences terrible lag times. For instance, It may take 15 seconds to display a 2-digit number I typed into a blank field. the same software has no lag issues when I'm not recording it.

    Yes and no. The CPTX file is on my PC. Our software that I'm making the demo of is on the network. but I'm not the "IT Guy" so I can't provide specifics; however, I work at a computer software company and we probably have more servers than employees. The network hardware is kept current. I've been making similar tutorials for 10 years and haven't run into this issue until switching to the subscription Captivate.

  • When holding down the 'command' key for a few seconds, the Universal Access panel appears.  How can I stop this?

    When holding down the 'command' key for a few seconds, the Universal Access panel appears.  How can I stop this?

    It is a panel that pops up and the heading on the panel is 'Universal Access', it is actually just an image of a panel, you can't access it.  I have checked keyboard shortcuts and none of them are assigned to the command key only

  • Mid 2011 macbook air. command key has popped off and is now missing the 2nd metal bar. can this be replaced?

    The command key popped off my mid 2011 macbook air. It is meant to have two metal bars but can't find the 2nd one. I have clicked it back into place but if I press the button at the bottom the top pops up and I'm worried that if I don't fix the problem I may end up losing the key altogether!
    Can you buy replacement metal bars? should I just remove the other bar completely?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, must have been the crackpipe I smoked last night! LOL
    You won't see anything in the Application Support --> Bootcamp folder unless you have previously downloaded the Windows Support Software. Good find.
    ADDENDUM STEP:
    This step should be placed between 9-10.
    Open Bootcamp Assistant. Uncheck everything BUT, "DOWNLOAD THE LATEST WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE FROM APPLE". You will be prompted to burn the image to a CD/DVD or save to a USB Key. Save the image to a USB key. This will format your USB key properly in preparation for the files. The download commences and if you're lucky, the files will simply be saved to your USB key without having to manually copy them over to the key using the steps above.
    IMPORTANT - Even if the support software hangs when its being saved to the USB key, you should now be able to navigate to the directory and see the image. Follow the steps above.
    Apologies for missing this.
    Best,
    WBN

  • Is there a way to operate the command key using the mouse?

    I am working with a student who has limited movement of his hands. He is able to operate a mouse. However, he cannot operate the mouse and make key commands at the same time. Is there any way to adapt the mouse so command key actions can be carried out without pressing the key?

    Look inside System Preference "Universal Access" (or whatever even more politically correct name it is called now).
    There is a feature called "Sticky keys". That says that when you press the command key in a certain way, it stays pressed (It is "Sticky").
    There are also two and three button mouse devices that can be used readily on a Mac (including the "Mighty Mouse" with the little rollerball) that can register one, two, or three button operations.

  • The command key - nothing happens. how can i check if it works (new to mac)

    i have macbook pro 2013
    and i am trying to figure out the command key and its use (next to space bar ) left hand side
    when i press it nothing happens?
    and also is there a delete key on the keyboard that above the return key rigth? and that doesnt seem to work either if i am on a file and press that arrow (left)
    can anyone tell me if there is a problem ? or is there something i can try to see if it works? i have checked the keyboard mappings etc and its fine and set to default..
    thank you

    The command key is used in combination with other keys to do commands in apps as well as the Finder
    The easiest way to tell if your command and Delete keys work is to highlight a file that you want to move to the Trash.  Hold down the Command key and then hit the Delete key.  The file should move to the trash.
